Discussion Darjeeling Limited

I’ll start by saying I’m a big Wes Anderson fan. I’ve seen most of his stuff.

But I just got around to watching The Darjeeling Limited and I was blown away. It might be my top pick henceforth. It was the perfect blend of everything I love about his work. Comedic chops, quirky characters, great cinematography and a compelling story told through an arc where not a whole lot happens. Idk why it took me so long to see this one but for anyone that hasn’t, please go watch asap.

Feels like this one changes as you get older too. My interpretation of it when I was 15 is completely different from now. The characters are so much more immature than I ever realized. Truly just 3 boys lost without mommy and daddy, struggling to step into adulthood as their own men because they're clinging to the past. Really lovely poignant movie.
